In 1967, Earl “The Pearl” Monroe was drafted by the Baltimore Bullets in the first round of the NBA draft and was the second overall pick. He won the NBA Rookie of the Year Award in a season in which he averaged 24.3 points per game, and scored 56 points in a game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1990 and voted one of the NBA 50 Greatest Players of All-Time in 1996. Monroe changed his uniform number from “33” to “10” in 1969. On the left front tail is the “Wilson” manufacturer’s tag with wash instructions and size “38”. Across the front is “Bullets”. Player number “33” appears on both the front and back. All these numbers and letters are done in white on orange tackle twill. The jersey is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used and in our opinion, shows excellent use.
